As a fellow blogger, I found this post very insightful and inspirational! There are so many people who come to my own blog and find things that I wrote years ago -- total strangers thanking me for writing about the solution to a particular problem. It always puts a smile on my face. The Internet has really created an awesome medium for communication and information.

It's kinda been a mission of mine to remind us writers how much influence we really have, even when we're not aware of it. And of course there's the corollary: along with influence comes, um, responsibility! <i>(sound of terrified scream)</i> Keep writing, Sally, and thanks for dropping by! :-) @Sally – Howdy, Sally, and thank you so much for your kind comment.

Since it was written before I even knew your blog existed (only a little over a month after I first began blogging), I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to read it and benefit from your words of wisdom. Thanks for resurrecting it! Your story just goes to show that, while a very bright light can dispel all darkness, the deepest darkness has no power to extinguish even the tiniest pinpoint of light. And that's a real encouragement to us as bloggers -- and people -- as we strive to let our own lights shine. That tiny pinpoint of light barely visible in your photo truly is a symbol of hope! Shine on! Jeanne Love this post, Robert!
